Song:   Criminal
Artist: Fiona Apple
Transcription by Jake Schneider

Since this song has no recognizable guitar stuff, I decided to make my
own arrangement for guitar.  Send comments/suggestions to:

There may be one discrepancy (I'm aware of it) in re: to the Cm
pentatonic bass groove being played and the guitar playing a C7 over top
of it.  I tried playing a Cm/Cm7 chord but the C7 sounded better to me.

footnote: I tried this version out with my band (we're a 3-piece: drums,
bass, & guitar-with a chick singer) and it worked out well!  I think if
a band did this number "Unplugged" it would come across very 'cool' to
the audience.
